Bailiffs sent in after commuter sues Greater Anglia railway for 183 delays

A commuter is sending bailiffs to a rail company after winning a long-running battle for compensation over delays.

Seph Pochin was awarded £350 after taking Greater Anglia to court citing “regular deficiencies” with the service, but the company that operates an extensive network between London and East Anglia, failed to pay up.

Mr Pochin, of Halesworth, Suffolk, has now successfully applied for a warrant to be served on Greater Anglia to seize assets worth £350. It represents the culmination of a long-running dispute over “woeful” levels of service on trains between his home and Ipswich — a 25-mile journey.

According to the BBC, Mr Pochin’s train has been repeatedly delayed, with 183 of his 550 journeys in a year being late.
